February 14, 2014 Katie + Brandon | American Visionary Art Museum + Tabrizi’s Baltimore Wedding

The 2014 wedding season is very busy for me. However, I have a really nice long break between my first wedding of 2014 (1/11/14 - Laura and Danny) and my second at the beginning of April. This long break means I get the opportunity to unwind and gear up for wedding season, and that I also have the opportunity to second shoot more often! My first wedding of 2014 as a second shooter was on January 25th with Dana Cubbage. I...

February 12, 2014 Personal Post | My Journey with Snowboarding, and Our Trip to Stowe, VT

Last week, my husband Steve and I spent 6 days in the stunning winter wonderland of Stowe, Vermont.

January 30, 2014 That time that Jess got engaged…

Tuesday was the happiest day of my life. Okay, maybe that's a *bit* dramatic, but it was incredibly exciting! Tuesday was just another day, sitting at home, looking at the cat when he made silly noises, watching Say Yes to the Dress and waiting for Steve to get home from work. And then my phone rang. "Why is Jess calling me? -- wait.. Jess is Facetiming me?" Let's back up a bit. When I was in college I got a job in retail...
